1. if they are not canned, boil your beans - find our suggestions here

2. if you are using rolled oats, blend them into a powder.

3. in a food processor or a good blender mix all the ingredients except for the chocolate: boiled beans, oat flour, sugar, cocoa, oil, baking powder and vanilla extract. mix very well: you should end up with a smooth and thick brown batter, with no recognizable bits of bean.

4. cut the dark chocolate in small pieces.

5. add them to the batter and mix with a spoon.

6. pour the batter in a mould, we used a round mould (diameter 22cm), but you can use a square mould of 20x20cm (or smaller if you like thicker brownies). spread it well in your mould with the help of a spoon.

7. bake it for 18 minutes at 180° C in static oven.

8. let it cool down, then cut it in squares and serve.
